About Mono Lake, Lee Vining, California:

Mono Lake is an ancient saline lake nestled at the edge of the Great Basin near the tiny mountain town of Lee Vining. Over a million years old, it's famous for its otherworldly tufa towers—calcium-carbonate spires formed by freshwater springs bubbling up through alkaline water. The lake is a critical habitat for migratory birds and brine shrimp, and its stark, sculptural beauty has captivated artists, scientists, and travelers for generations. Discover more about this extraordinary destination by exploring Mono Lake on Wikipedia and the Mono Lake Committee website.
